Guys, one of you can be the adult friend of family 2. Forget paige. I am thinking of doing a child. Either from family 1 or a twin.

Name (First and last name required. Please keep in mind to use the same last name if your character is related to another):
George Mitchell

Nick Name (Optional): Mitch, Grandpa,

Age (We would like a mixed range of ages, so please keep this mind): 69

Sex (Male or Female): Male

Sexual Orientation (Straight, Bisexual, Gay, or something else): Straight

Nationality and Race (Not everyone has to be an American resident or Caucasian. They could be a visiting family member/friend from overseas. However, please keep their race in mind if they are related to another character or the whole family): American of German and Dutch ancestry

Picture (What they look like. Please name the actor/person you use and try and make sure they at least look the age. They don't have to be the exact age, but they have to at least look the part): Posted Image

Appearance (How they dress, how they style themselves, are they overweight etc): George is a bit on the pudgy side, having eaten too much of his wife Shirley's rich food during their marriage. He tends to dress casually, wearing brownor light blue slacks or khakis, plaid long-sleeve shirts, and an ever-present Seattle Mariners baseball cap.

Occupation (What they do for a living. If they are a student, do they do anything outside of school?): George is retired. He spent the bulk of his adult life custom-designing wood furniture as a carpenter.

Personality (Who they are and how they act): He can be a bit of a curmudgeon, except when he is around his grandkids, whom he adores. He has a great, loing relationship with his daughter in law, but has always felt like his son was a bit of a failure for not following his lead and working with his hands. he views his sons' job as "less than hard working, not really a man's job".

History (Doesn't have to be incredibly in-depth, but put some detail into it):

George was born in Tacoma, Washington in 1944. He was a rough and tumble kid, getting into trouble often until he wandered into a gym one day and discovered boxing. George became so good a boxer as a youth that he participated in Golden Gloves, being national runner-up in the middleweight division. Not being so bright at the books, George decided university was not for him and enlisted in the army at the age of 19, and saw action in two tours of duty early on in Vietnam. He would keep the horrors of Vietnam stored inside him, never wanting to talk about it to his wife Shirley or later on to his family.

After the war, George found work with a construction company across the border in Victoria, BC. He would stay there and raise a family. The fists he used to use to knock people out found greater calling running a saw and pounding nails, as George found his lifelong calling as a carpenter craftsman of wood furniture.

His wife Shirley died two years ago, and George has become even more sullen and curmurdgeonly around folks. he hopes that this trip is a chance to bond with his kids and grandkids, because he fears that he really doesn't hae all that much longer to live. George suffered a heart attack six years ago, and he feels as though he is living on borrowed time. Shirley was the only love of his life, and he misses her more every day.

Hobbies (How they like to spend their free time. Movies, music, activities, etc): George is an avid reader of Westerns, and likes to watch old Western films on TV. He used to dabble a bit in ham radio, but dropped that hobby a few years ago.

Likes (What they like): Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. He enjoys a pinch of Kodiak smokeless tobacco once in while, though far less often than he used to. He loves his grandkids more than life itself.

Dislikes (What they don't like): Stupid people, people who don't earn "an honest day's wages", salespeople, and people who don't respect the military and the great outdoors.

Religion (What they choose to believe in, if anything): George is a lifelong Lutheran.

Strengths (What they're good at): Works well with tools and with his hands. Can fix most anything, especially broken furniture, car engines and plumbing.

Weaknesses (What they're not so good at): Not good at math. Not good at dealing with a lot of different people.

Skills (Certain things they are good at, such as Medicine, Weapons Use, Running, Martial Arts etc): George developed skills as a marksman while in the Army, and also has the ability to improvise explosives if required. While not swift, he is strong, and can still lift heavy weights if the need arises.

Goals (What were they hoping to achieve in life, or what are they hoping to achieve while at the cabin):

George is in the twilight of his life, and he knows it. He just wants to pass on what knowledge and tips he can to his grandkids, try to make things better between his son and himself, and try to bond with al of his family before the Lord takes him.

Fears (What they're afraid of): Snakes (developed a fear of them after being bitten by a poisonous one in Nam and nearly dying of infection). Also afraid of dying without making thigns right with his son.

Relationships With Other Characters (Who are they related to in the cast? Any specific relationships they might have with other family members/friends? Friendships, Boyfriends/Girlfriends, Crushes, Enemies etc.): I think we've pretty much covered this.

Secrets (Anything they are hiding): When he was much younger, during a streetfight, George laid a punch so hard on a rival that the rival ended up in the hospital and died. George has lived with that memory kept to himself all these years. No one else ever knew it was his punch that led to his rivals' death.

Possessions (What they are traveling with, either on them or in their luggage): George has his fishing pole, bait and tackle box, his prescription medicines, and his handy dandy Leatherman multi-purpose blade tool. Unbeknowst to his family, George also packed a pistol and ammo "because you never know".

Plan For The Trip (How are they planning on spending the trip?): Relaxing, maybe a little fishing at a nearby lake, and just straightening out the strained relationship he has with his son. Also spoiling his grandkids rotten.

How Do They Feel About The Trip (Are they happy or annoyed about the trip?): George is looking forward to the trip.

Extra (Anything that isn't covered by the other topics): Looking forward to the RPG! If names have already been chosen for other characters, just adjust George's last name accordingly.

I dont know if anyone has gotten my post but I took paige down and said I want to make a child character in family 1 but I want to see the rest of the members filled or at least most of it so I can make my child more better. Besides I dont want to waste my time making a char and no one else signs up. It takes me an hour or two to make a character cuz I think too much about it.
